Colorado Couple Finally Back Home From Libya

DENVER (CBS4) – A Colorado couple struggled mightily to get out of Libya and they finally made it home late on Wednesday.

Ernie and BJ Diller were teaching at the American School in Tripoli until last week. After two flights were canceled, the Dillers had to take a boat to Malta, which was also delayed by bad weather. Finally they flew home Wednesday evening.

CBS4’s Dominic Garcia spoke to the two tired travelers at Denver International Airport right as they got through customs, but he learned their return was bittersweet.

“I’ve got bloodshot eyes, can’t wear my contacts for a while, but I lost about 10 pounds, I think,” Ernie said.
